“Hmm? You two finally came out.”

Allura spoke as she glanced at Melia and Nux, who just came out of the Portal.

“You were waiting for us?”

Nux questioned as he raised in eyebrows.

“I just felt like I would see something interesting if I stayed here.”

Allura spoke.

Then, her eyes fell on how Nux and Melia held each other’s hands and a smile appeared on her face,

“And looks like I was correct.

I did get to see something interesting.”

When Melia realized that she was unconsciously holding Nux’s hands, her face turned red and she quickly moved her hand away.

Seeing this scene, Allura chuckled.

Nux narrowed his eyes as he glanced at Allura, he couldn’t believe his wife would betray him like this.

“Anyways, Amaya called you.”

Suddenly, Allura spoke up.

“What happened?”

“It seems that she has recruited someone for her Information Hall, that woman she recruited seems to be one of those crazy fans of yours and wanted to meet you, so Amaya was calling for you.”

“…”

Nux’s expression changed when he heard that.

“Are you sure it was Amaya?” He questioned with a doubtful look on his face.

Was his lovely Yandere sick?

If looks could kill, Amaya would have killed every woman who had ever glanced at Nux with those thoughts in her mind.

A woman like her was introducing another woman to him?

Nux couldn’t believe it.

“She says that the woman is competent.”

Allura replied.

She seemed surprised as well.

“Competent huh…” Nux muttered.

He really wondered who this woman was…

Someone who convinced his Amaya…

Was that even possible?

“Tsk tsk, I can see your curiousness oozing out of your body.”

Allura muttered.

“Don’t tell me you aren’t curious.”

“Well I am,” Allura admitted.

“Anyways, I’ll go meet this ‘competent’ woman now.”

“Mhm, she is your fan, so she might be an easy target.” Allura nodded.

“What do you take me for?” Nux questioned with a deadpan look on his face.

“A sexual predator with uncontrollable Lust.”

“…”

Nux didn’t know how to reply.

Allura’s answer was just way too quick.

However, this didn’t mean he could stay silent.

Battle of words was the area he prided himself in,

“Says the woman who made a bet with her sisters just so she could spend the next 10 days with this ‘sexual predator’. Heh.”

Nux shot back.

“What can I do, I was a victim.

And now,

I am addicted.”

Allura spoke with a seductive smile on her face.

“Are you sure you weren’t the one who seduced me with your body?”

“I was just an innocent woman back then.”

“Right. I cultivate purity and sacredness as well.” Nux nodded.

Allura chuckled.

Nux chuckled as well. Then, he waved his hand and walked away.

“I’ll get going now.”

“Mhm.”

…

“Alright, what is it, Sister Melia?” The moment Nux left, Allura turned towards Melia and questioned.

“I… I want to talk to you.”

Melia spoke up.

“Do you wish to go inside the [Core]?” Allura questioned.

“It isn’t that important, but I wouldn’t mind it,” Melia replied.

Allura observed Melia for a while, then, with a smile on her face, she held Melia’s hand and took her inside the [Core].

…

“You can be comfortable here, Sister Melia,” Allura spoke up as she and Melia sat on a sofa inside her room.

“I… I wanted to know more about Nux…”

Melia requested.

“Oh? So you are finally accepting your feelings for him now.” Allura commented.

“N-No, that’s not it. I just wanted to know more about him.”

“Yes, that is the first step in accepting your feelings,”

“I am just curious,” Melia replied, not giving in to Allura’s words.

In the end, Allura just shrugged.

“What do you want to know?”

“Nothing much…

I just feel that I do not know anything about him at all other than the fact that he is from the Forgotten Continent.

I want to know more, like, how is he so talented? What was he like when you first met him? Was he the same as he is right now, or did he change? How did your life change when… you know… after you and he became a couple?

Also…

All of you seem to love him from the bottom of your heart, why is that? Why do you love him so much? What do you see in him? Wh-“

“Haaah!” Suddenly, Allura sighed in exasperation.

“You are asking me questions like these and you are telling me that you don’t have any feelings for Nux?

Do you know who you match right now, Sister Melia?”

“Who?”

“The past me who used to talk with Edda and get butterflies everything I learned something new about Nux.”

Allura replied.

“I-It’s nothing l-like tha-“

“Tsk, Nux that pervert, he never fails, does he?

But you are pretty annoying as well.

How long are you going to keep denying it? Do you really think it would work? Tell me honestly, aren’t you just dying to spend more time with him?”

“As I said before, there is nothing like that between us.”

Melia’s resistance was stronger than Allura expected.

However, Allura had a trump card,

“Sister Melia.”

She called out with a serious look on her face.

“What is it?”

“What if I tell you something that would allow you to get into Nux’s head and get one over him?”

“W-What?”

“Mhm, you would be able to see him on his backstep, while you take the lead. You would be able to see him blush in embarrassment. How about it?”

“I… I would like that…”

Melia admitted with a little blush on her face.

It was not because she had feelings for Nux.

She just felt that she has been overpowered by Nux almost every time they converse, so she wanted to get back at him.

“Heh, do you think I will share this secret for free?” suddenly, a demonic smile appeared on Allura’s face.

“What do you want?” Melia questioned with a frown on her face.

“Admit it.

You are looking forward to spending time with him again, aren’t you?”

“W-What?”

“If you don’t do it, then forget about the trump card.”

“I…

I am looking forward to using this trump card on him.

So…

So you can say I am looking forward to meeting him… a little…” Melia spoke up.

Allura glanced at Melia for a while, and then,

“Tsk.”

She snorted.

“That was smart. I underestimated you.

Well whatever, I guess this would be much more interesting.

So this is what you have to do…”
